There are several ways to reduce network congestion. Subnetting and adding routers will break up broadcast domains and traffic. Adding VLANs will do the same while adding security. Upgrading the speed of NICs and wiring, i.e. moving from 10BaseT to 100 or 1000, will reduce congerstion as will moving from half duplex transmissions to full duplex transmissions.

Congestion control does ensure that the network does not become saturated at any one point. This ensures that there is no compromise in the quality of service.


What is meant by network congestion?

When too many packets are present in a subnet, performance degrades. This situation is called Congestion. Update: In any network when there is too much the data traffic at a node that the network slows down or starts loosing data, it is known as network congestion. It degrades quality of service and also can lead to delays, lost data or e.g. dropped calls on a telephone network. - Neeraj Sharma when excess of data travels in a subnet or in node there will be a loss of data, this excess flow is know as network congestion.This demotes the performance in network e.g.improper delivery of fax
